Ardent baiting there, I must say. I wouldn't have reacted, but when the opponent's posts started getting ignored and reduced to "blah, blah, blah," it became pretty apparent.

Fervent nationalism isn't against site rules. I see it as a focused "ignore" of the pro-EU posters, but it doesn't really cross the line into flamebaiting.

No action taken.

The "blah, blah, blah" itself is very crude, and probably vexing to the author, but there are those "surrender monkey" comments. Are you sure? There is a difference between nationalism and jingoist taunts.

I'll get a second opinion on this then. Best to be fair all round.

Meh. I'd call it rude and crude but nothing more.
